Chapter 1015
In Tate Industries, Avery went straight to Mike’s office upon arriving at the company’s building
Mike was discussing the details of products with the department manager and immediately walked toward Avery when he spotted her. “Why are you here out of the blue? You scared me.” Mike entered his office and said, “I thought that you would be at home counting your jewelry!” Avery ignored his teasing and told him the idea she came up with on the way there. “We can use the drones to locate Adrian!”
Mike’s blue eyes lit up. “I talked to Adrian on the phone just now. He is being imprisoned right now and can’t get out, but he can talk on the phone,” Avery blurted out in excitement. “I told him to place a red object by the window, and if I send the Seeker Series drones to search—” “That’s one way, but it wastes too much time and effort,” thought Mike as he crossed his arms. “Why don’t you just get the address from his family?” said Mike, offering his own suggestion. “I wouldn’t have come up with this if I could reach his family. They aren’t answering my calls. “Avery’s expression darkened. “But they don’t want to cross me either, so they allow Adrian to call me.” “What about calling the police?” Mike asked. “I have no right or reason to get the police involved,” said Avery. “Adrian is a part of their family, not mine. It’s reasonable that they are restricting Adrian’s freedom due to his intellectual disability, so the police won’t act, unless…”
“Unless what?”
“Unless Elliot gets involved.” Avery sighed. “I told him that I would settle this on my own. Besides, he’s been really busy lately, and I don’t want to trouble him. Let me try with the drones first, maybe it will work!” “Alright, I will help you! If I manage to find Adrian for you, that ought to serve as a wedding gift from me. I don’t really know what to get you, anyway.” Mike cursed, “That b*st*rd Elliot bought you so many pieces of jewelry. So what if he is rich??”
“He was under some kind of influence last night.” Avery collected the labels on the jewelry she had received the night before CRG4{SES found that they had cost over seven million and five hundred thousand dollars, and that did not even include the gifts he had bought the children.
Elliot was a fearful man when he lost his mind.
Nathan arrived home with 1.5 million and lit a cigarette gloomily.
“Dad, what should we do next?” Peter asked. He looked sad. “The money we received from Mrs. Foster exceeded 1.5 million in total! Elliot is so stingy! Does he take us for beggars?!”. “He’s powerful! This is Aryadelle; his territory. To him, we are no more than ants, and it will be as easy to squish us. We can’t move against him recklessly, or he is really going to kill us.” Nathan took a puff of the cigarette and started plotting the next step.
“Avery called Adrian this morning,” Peter said. “I don’t know what they talked about, but they ended the call pretty soon. Avery sure is an interesting woman. She is about to get married, yet her mind is filled with another man, and an idiot of a man no less! “That idiot is the last leverage we have,” Nathan mumbled, “At least Adrian is obedient! Elliot acts as if he would die rather than give us some money. We might as well push Adrian up the corporate ladder and make him the boss of Sterling Group!”
“I’m just worried that the Foster family would fight us over Adrian!” Peter scowled.
“Henry Foster is so broke that he has to sell the old residence. What’s to fear from that useless man?” Nathan retorted coldly. “I am considering if we should talk to Avery. That brat Elliot seems to listen to her!”
